The 15th annual Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival (CBJF), presented by the Gahanna Convention & Visitors Bureau (GCVB), is a weekend-long celebration of fabulous music from local, regional and national acts, along with food, family activities and entertainment, amusement rides and an artisan market that takes place this year from June 14 to 16, 2013.“This great event has grown from being a half-day event into an entire weekend that attracts the best live blues and jazz musicians around,” said Laurie Jadwin, chair of the CBJF committee, “More than 40,000 people come from all over the region to enjoy great live entertainment in a family friendly atmosphere. To celebrate our 15th anniversary this year, we’ve pulled out all the stops to have the best lineup ever.”

The three-day festival features more than 90 hours of live music and entertainment on five stages, delicious cuisine; artisans; amusement rides; engaging family activities at the Musical Discovery Zone; the Rising Stars Contest for young musicians; and the Sunday Father’s Day Jazz Brunch at the new Local Cantina restaurant, located directly adjacent to the Creekside Community Stage.
